Folks, Gridiron Videos has been kind enough to give us a third installment of CP preseason highlights.
Christian Ponder's Third Preseason Game
It was a bit of a rough start. CP was way off on his first deep downfield pass. I agree with Mayock. The play seemed to have been designed to go there regardless, to open up his arm and get him thinking vertically. Next we have that awful botched snap, where Ponder shows his agility but ultimately loses a bunch of yards. The next notable play is a miscommunication between he and Burton (who probably won't make the team and who almost certainly misread the scheme).
After that, I have to say, things looked great. Ponder shows the ability to get out of the pocket and get the ball down field, some really nice touch on a 16 yard out, and some good ball movement inside the Cowboy's 50 to get the ball in the hands of Reisner.
I still think Reisner gets out of bounds on that last play. Would have been nice to have seen us get two shots at the end zone.
Anyway, we'll have a lot more to look at this Thursday.
